Whitney, resides Alabama Hills. This eastern Sierra Nevada playground has been the backdrop for various films including The Lone Ranger, How the West Was Won and Iron Man making \"Movie Flats\" a popular destination. With the nearest city of Lone Pine only hosting 2,000 residents the low light pollution makes this a popular destination for stargazing and escaping big city life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","image_clickable":"","image_clickable_caption":"","clickable_image_url":"","button_caption":"","button_url":"","video_embed_url":"","full_image":"","full_image_caption":"","square_image":"","rectangular_image":"","left_image":"","center_image":"","right_image":""},{"content_type":"full_image","bg_color":"white","text":"","image_clickable":"","image_clickable_caption":"","clickable_image_url":"","button_caption":"","button_url":"","video_embed_url":"","full_image":"https:\/\/content.caliraisedled.com\/media\/pages\/blog\/22526066730\/248783623-1638564800\/brettp_truck_520x500.jpg","full_image_caption":"","square_image":"","rectangular_image":"","left_image":"","center_image":"","right_image":""},{"content_type":"text","bg_color":"white","text":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\nMy favorite trip so far has been in Colorado in June of last year. I and a few other Toyota Tundra enthusiasts planned a long weekend of trail rides and outdoor adventures in the Denver area. The truck was pretty much bone stock at the time, and it handled the trails (which climb up to 9,800 feet!) like a champ. I look forward to getting back on the trail now that the truck is lifted and has quite a bit more armor installed thanks to Cali Raised LED.\u003c\/p\u003e","image_clickable":"","image_clickable_caption":"","clickable_image_url":"","button_caption":"","button_url":"","video_embed_url":"","full_image":"","full_image_caption":"","square_image":"","rectangular_image":"","left_image":"","center_image":"","right_image":""},{"content_type":"text","bg_color":"white","text":"\u003ch3\u003eJoining us this month to tell us about their trip to Mojave Road Trail, Brett P. took his Tacoma to this trail and shared his story with us.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\nVehicle: Magnetic Grey Metallic 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport\u003cbr \/\u003e\nRig Name: Riddick (like the movie) because my truck has characteristics of The Riddick.
